i have a unpainted hood, rather than paint it ($$$), i wanna put this wrap on, will it stick well to primed steel? should i precoat the hood first?

Absolutely it will stick. It will stick to just about any material. If you have never vinyl wrapped before, you might consider buying two of these exact roles just so you can get a feel for how the material works. It's better to have 2 sets of hands as well. You'll need a heat gun, a spray bottle; filled with water and literally 2-4 drops of regular dish soap depending on the size of the spray bottle. Sqeegeed out and dryed on with the heat gun. Easier said than done. Give it a shot. Really cool look to it. Have finished pictures on my Instagram @ beneubauer Best of luck to your final product!

Use the metal prep. It will then adhere nicely to rusty and non rusty metal as well as painted surfaces. I used it on my 68 Cougar and it was awesome. I also used the por putty after I used the metal prep and there was no adhering issues.

I believe if you sandblast the slide to get the best possible adhesion, it will probably stay well. I painted my truck with it and never had bubbling on the hood in the sun with it running

I have used this on many different surfaces: plastic, wood and metal. The only place it wore off from was a highly used doorknob. I don't think primer would have made a difference, maybe if I had roughed the knob first with something like steel wool, to remove the shiny brass finish before I painted it would not have rubbed off as much...

It worked fine for me, but I also used the primer that goes with the paint first and it did a great job. Looks like brand new. I used it for the coping on the top of my pool.

I have not used it to wrap exhausts and would not recommend that, this does not have metallic backing, it is micro perforated which makes it great for plastic and metal accenting. I used it for tank of my bike, I used it for accent pannels. Works great but not made for high high heat, Will shrink with flame

Since the top coat (or final finish) is an epoxy-type solution that was supplied with your kit, it probably won't hold up long enough with the proper consistency to be applied at some later time. Check with Rust-Oleum though; but my feeling is that you'll probably need to purchase more of the compound to get the finish that you want.

It doesn't peel off like a plastidip. It is more like an enamel. I'm sure you'd have no problem using an glossover with it but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are you using to two very light coats or less. Sand down the area you plan on painting with a a 400gr sandpaper (that's what I used and it worked great). Then spray light coats, waiting about ten to fifteen minutes in between coats. Don't go passed three coats unless yo only ever plan on driving during the day. Finished produc looks great and for the price I would definitely recommend it.

VHT sprays better than any "rattlecan" paint I have ever used. Paint stainless steel? Why? But if you have to, this is as good a high temp paint as there is. You need to prime with high temp primer too after cleaning and scuffing with 400 grit paper.

Not to me. I followed all the directions for priming this grill, and the food still stuck like glue. It is very heavy & awkward to handle. Hope this helps with your decision.

To be on the safe side, I would clean the sufface with TSP, and then use the primer. I would also use a hard bristle brush during cleaning, to remove any loose sealants, or coatings. Be sure to caulk around any roof vents before application. Hope this helps.

not sure, maybe try with the primer, should stick but not sure how smooth it will look, has to be smooth as glass or any imperfection will show up

I would definitely use prime, it would be more permanent. It is thick like tar shake really well. You wont need but 2 coats. Good luck!

Not that I've noticed. I used this primer for laying out some di-noc carbon fiber wrap on some panels on my Honda Shadow VLX, and as long as I heated the vinyl and primer and peeled it....no paint came off. I also used it to help led strips adhere to some surfaces on my Suzuki Boulevard C50, (had 3m double sided tape, just used the primer to make sure they stuck)....apply a little heat and slowly peel. You could also use alcohol to soften the primer.

I did not use any primer and where I placed it was pretty smooth, once the sun hit it, we had great seal. I would suggest a fairly clean surface though.

I'd hate to give you the wrong info but I'm quite sure that the coupe's hood is larger / longer. Why not contact the vendor or contact a local body shop or paint shop I'm guessing that they would give you that info. The other option you have is to try a local salvage / junk yard you may luck out and find one the same color ! Hope I was of help to you. Happy Holidays.

I suggest you file the back side tab down where it is flat. My unit came with a double face tape. Peel off....clean and dry hood....center and apply firm pressure. Under no circumstances um stance would I drill a hole in the hood, to retrofit the unit. Not worth it.
